I travel quite a bit and my favorite for the last few years has been the Plantronics Calisto bluetooth headset. It's very light, compact, clips on one ear and you've got freedom to move around while on the call.

Typically, my conference calls occur in front of a laptop, which I may or may not be sharing over the web with those on my call. So a USB connection is fine (it is longer than my arms, which remain connected to my laptop keyboard).

I used the Everyman Freetalk this week -- it worked great! Thanks Kelly!

Of course, now I have experienced the quality of the sound from this headset, I wonder about a wireless version for occasions where I am NOT connected to a keyboard. But currently I don't use Skype. Maybe it is time to revisit my base technology for phone calls.

I attend a lot of webinars and don't like to be tethered to my computer (even though I'm generally an attentive attendee) so I much prefer a wireless headset (I have both kinds).

The Asus Travelite headset/mike I've had for a few years works very well. It connects with a USB and if I'm worried about whether the charge will hold for the call, I use an extender (it has a ridiculously short cord). The unit folds up into a nice round zippered case.

Ok, I'm coming in late to this thread. Forgive me it this has been asked and answered.

I'm not a Skyper and never will be, but I'd LOVE to get a wireless headset for my computer to listen to webinars, music, etc. I'd also love to be able to just order it from Amazon. Could someone recommend something specific? I'm a Windows woman, if that matters.

Hi Barb,

I'd still recommend the Everyman Wireless. It says it's designed for Skype, but it will serve your needs as well, including GTD Connect webinars.

Thanks, Kelly. Amazon has some pretty bad reviews of this. Several people talk about the headset breaking apart because the band is held to the earpiece with just a plastic screw. Can anyone speak to this?

Mine has ridden in a canvas pouch in a pocket in the fabric top of my roller bag for the last 18 months. In other words, not an awful lot separating it from the knocks of the world. When I used it today, it was still unbroken.

But maybe I am extra gentle -- my Klipsch computer speakers received the same kind of reviews for being fragile, and they have worked flawlessly for years!
